      <title><![CDATA[Lunch Lecture: Offshore Exploration for Oil and Gas]]></title>
      <link>http://www.hsvest.is/news/Lunch_Lecture_Offshore_Exploration_for_Oil_and_Gas</link>
      <description>
      	<![CDATA[In the Lunch Lecture Friday March 19, &THORN;&oacute;rarinn Sveinn Arnarson will give a talk about techniques for offshore oil explorations and introduce an expedition that is being planned to the Dreki area north east of Iceland. The talk will be in English and begins at 12.10 in the cafeteria of the University Centre.<br /><br />In the presentation a general description will be given of the main techniques used for offshore oil exploration. These are based on multiple approaches, which have very different costs involved, and each have their own strengths and weaknesses. At the end of the presentation, an introduction will be made of a survey that is planned for the Dreki area this year on the research vessel &Aacute;rni Fri&eth;riksson of the Marine Research Institute. In this survey, cores will be collected of the surface sediments at selected locations in the area. The samples will be analyzed in a lab for possible indications of oil and gas seeps that may be migrating from geological strata deep below the sea floor. In addition, a part of the area will be mapped using the multibeam bathymetric and sub-bottom profiler systems installed on &Aacute;rni Fri&eth;riksson. This is a cooperation project between Orkustofnun (the National Energy Authority), Marine Research Institute, Iceland GeoSurvey and the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.<br /><br />&THORN;&oacute;rarinn Sveinn Arnarson holds a PhD in oceanography from the University of Washington and works at the National Energy Authority of Iceland as a manager of hydrocarbon explorations.<br />]]>

      	<![CDATA[Last Friday was a busy but enjoyable day at the University Centre of the Westfjords. Staff members and members of the board spent the day working on a strategic plan for the future of the University Centre.<br /><br />This was a good meeting which is no surprise since the future is very exciting for the University Centre. This was also a great opportunity for the board and the staff members to get together, since such opportunities are scarce in the daily routine of the University Centre.<br />]]>
